In this paper a procedure to approximately calculate the mean waiting time in the M/H2/s queue is presented. The approximation is heuristic although based in the intuitive symmetry between the deterministic and balanced ...

Mobile ad-hoc networking is a topic that has caught the interest of the research community for years. Although MANETs were introduced time ago, routing in such difficult environments is still an open issue. Routing protocols ...

Fifth generation (5G) wireless networks will target
at energy and spectrum efficient solutions to cope with the
increasing demands in capacity and energy efficiency. To achieve
this joint goal, dense networks of small ...

MANETs have been focusing the interest of researchers for several years. The new scenarios where MANETs are being deployed make that several challenging issues remain open: node scalability, energy efficiency, network ...

With the advance of fifth generation (5G) networks, network density needs to grow significantly in order to meet the required capacity demands. A massive deployment of small cells may lead to a high cost for providing fiber ...

A dense deployment of small cells is one of the key characteristics envisioned for future 5G mobile networks in order to provide the required capacity increase. To cut cabling costs, small cells are foreseen to form multihop ...

Spectrum scarcity together with high capacity demands make the use of millimeter wave (mmWave) frequencies an interesting alternative for next generation, i.e., fifth generation (5G), networks. Although mmWave is expected ...
